Re: MORE E-TEC ENGINE PROBLEMS

G'day Bluewater Bill. Yes I am in the Sydney area. In the northern part. Sorry about putting the post in the wrong place. I'm new to posting on these boards. I'll start a new thread to continue. I bought this boat specifically because of all the good stuff I read about the E-TEC and of course the 3yr/300hr mainteance free period and 3yr warranty. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Re: MORE E-TEC ENGINE PROBLEMS

Not sure if i am posting in right place, new to this thing. I have a 2006 etec 225 ho and just blew the 2nd lower unit.. I have been told that i can put on a 2011 lower unit from a 150 etc ho, but will have to change the prop shaft and shift shaft. Is that true or is there a difference or a reason i should not do this? it is supposed to be an L2 and stronger than the original one that i had on when i got it new. Thanks to anyone that can help

I bougth my engine on 2013, I changed injection fuell the first time not in warranty(number 2) for cause water.

After one year.

I went two days ago with some friend to fishing, after 3/4 hours the engine slow down rpm and off alone. I tried to turn on more time afeter 5/6 time engine switch on. I went in the harbour very slowly.

The error code " open injector 3" means that there is a break in the wiring somewhere either on the engine harness or inside the injector. The mechanic has to test the #3 injector for resistance and if OK, then the rest of the electrical connectors and wiring for a problem.

Re: MORE E-TEC ENGINE PROBLEMS

I realize this is an old thread but I just bought a 2015 E-TEC 25 Evinrude today brand new from the dealer and was browsing forums and reviews for possible problems. I am seeing a few issues posted here and noticed very good customer service and response from a Evinrude rep. I like that! I haven't put mine in the water yet due to bad weather here in SC but I will continue to follow the forums and experiences of other E-TEC owners. I was able to get the 7-year warranty on mine and that's what sold it for me. Can't beat that!
